What a concept! A horror show, in which one of its main characters accurately states “Everyday of our lives is Halloween,” opts to do a Halloween themed episode. Considering the Halloween season is a disastrous time in the Winchester family history, why not dress up the fact that this year isn’t proving to be any…
NOW: Shadow of a man running in the night. The slow pan upward reveals our frightened victim to be none other than Dean Winchester. He’s huffing and puffing, and streaking as if his life depends on it. He turns his head, and nothing is there but the sounds of hellhounds on his tail. He looks back, runs faster,…

I have this vision that anytime Eric Kripke and Ben Edlund get in a room together and start sharing their ideas, everyone else backs away very slowly and leaves them alone. These two so far have produced such off the wall classics as “Hollywood Babylon”, “Bad Day At Black Rock”, and the most crazy of…
I’m still picturing how such a crazy idea of an all black and white campy horror movie episode got pitched in the writers room and made it through the initial brush off. Not that I mind, for “Monster Movie” is brilliant, but still, it’s so nice to see that a show has established itself enough where…
Sammy! There you are. It’s so good to see you and your damaged, angsty self. I missed you buddy. As much as I loved “In The Beginning”, I found myself this week getting nostalgic, pulling out episodes like “Born Under A Bad Sign” and “Bedtime Stories” so I remembered what Sam’s pretty face looked like. Oh and his tortured soul. …
Updated 6/7. I finally added the pictures and put in some far better commentary. Enjoy this one! It raises some major questions, and has tons of fun at the expense of a misplaced Pinto. :)) Noooooo!!!! To Be Continued???? Damn you¦oh forget it. I’ve cursed Kripke’s name so many times it’s lost all meaning now….
This show is making my brain hurt. That’s always been a hazard with Supernatural but this season my head wants to explode only two episodes in. When Kripke stated his goal for season four was to hit the ground running he wasn’t kidding. I’m thrilled. I mean, look at episode two from the previous seasons. Wendigo, Everybody Loves…
Kripke, you magnificent bastard. The long, painful summer is finally over, and in compensation for our agony our reward is a pure gem. Eric Kripke does love us. Sure, Dean getting out of Hell is a forgone conclusion, but in coming up with a plausible explanation, the opportunity is seized to veer this show in…
Yesterday on my doorstep was the best cure to a rotten day at work ever, courtesy of Warner Brothers Television. As my jaw hit the floor once I saw what was inside I knew that somehow, after writing obsessively about Supernatural for months, I’ve made an impression. Inside was a black box, sealed with a…
